How to Minimize Firefox to the System Tray

Firefox extension MinimizeToTray allows you to minimize Firefox (or Thunderbird, Mozilla Suite, and Nvu) to the system tray.

MinimizeToTray provides quick access to many of Firefox and Thunderbird's most used features. For Firefox, easily view your Downloads or open a new browser window. For Thunderbird, compose new messages and view your Address Book while keeping it minimized all day to check for new mail.

Methods of Minimizing

Once you have the extension installed you have three ways to minimize Firefox to the “System Tray”. The first is using the “File Menu” and selecting the “Minimize to tray” command. The second is by using the “F9 Key”.

Prefer to use a button instead? Just access the “Customize Toolbar Window” and place the toolbar button in the location that best suits your personal preferences.
